I saw this in a bookstore a while back and have been curious about it ever since. I'm gonna be real, when I read the summary, it made me worried that it was going to be........ not sure how to phrase it. "Cringe"? Very obviously written by someone who has never been involved with drugs?
Stories that try and anthropomorphize concepts/things like depression, addiction, eating disorders, drugs, etc, almost always give me second-hand embarrassment. Does Shusterman make it work in this book......? Is it any good? I'm curious but don't want to waste my money if it's horribly written, or preachy.
